Russian president Vladimir Putin?s quip about rape charges facing the Israeli president has threatened to overshadow a meeting with Israel?s prime minister Ehud Olmert.
The talks largely focused on Israel?s conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah, but comments by Mr Putin when he thought the microphones were off almost stole the show.
Mr Putin said: ?Say hi to your president. He turned out to be quite a powerful person. He raped 10 women. We?re all amazed. We all envy him.?
